ABOUT ERIKA

I am a Certified Medical Assistant with over 13 years of experience in the medical field. Making others feel comfortable within the healthcare industry is my strength and also my motivation within this field. I was born and raised in Manhattan, Washington Heights. My parents are from the Dominican Republic. I have two wonderful children, Eric and Kayla. We love doing fun activities as a family, especially spending the day at Sloomoo Institute where we get to play with slime. We love to keep our traditions, such as my favorite kids’ book Goodnight Moon by Margarete Wise Brown.
